Analysis of temporal variations of water surfaces from 2000 to 2014. Our core information is 15 years of surface extents with a high frequency scoring (10 days in average)

Ends: Water surfaces monitoring


Analysis of temporal variations of water surfaces from 2000 to 2014 Normal hydrological year, wetness and dryer successions => Trends analysis in conjunction with meteo parameters ...

Water surfaces monitoring

Both in spatial and temporal domains


Water extent monitoring: Submersion time, occurrence maps

Yearly Residual analysis Yearly time of submersion

Yearly Residual analysis

Ten years averaged of time

of submersion

Water extent monitoring: Submersion time: residual analysis Water extent monitoring: Submersion time: residual analysis

Water extent monitoring: Submersion time: residual analysis

Complementarity SAR Optical HR

High complementary-synergy

Temporal:

• Long term few weeks/month with none exploitable Optical data

• Short term: increase the revisit, that interesting because evolution in less than 5 days (multiscale)

=> More accurate indicators (be careful with trends motions…)

Thematic:

- Optical :

- Vegetation on optical: flooded, submerged floating vegetation

- Water quality

Be careful with scale of analysis (Vegetation versus Modis, versus SPOT… 20% break each time… )..

Water bodies monitoring request regular and long term time series, continuity and consistency are key words


47

Perspectives and recommendations

Sentinel1 : systematic VV/VH rather than HH/HV !!!!

More global coverage.. Poyang is covered by S1 but only one major sites over hundreds ,

Sentinel 2: the systematic will be really systematic all around the world .. And at which time

Pursuit of the synergy approach with Sentinel3 OCLI (and other L8, Proba 100m) ,

Integrate as much as possible others source of information , such as water height (Jason, Altika, coming S3 and Jason CS before SWOT 2020)
